Chapter 30

Chapter 30,

The Crimson Dragon,

Third Person's POV

By the barging sound of the door, Riven and the other masters was shocked by the sudden appearance. Right there was Mana and Maria carrying Goro and Gin while 'That guy' carries Hiruki and Koshiro at the same time. Not being able to hold it, Mana and Maria dropped on the floor while 'That guy' gently dropped the two on the wall, leaning at each other.

"After forgetting about our existence, they make us carry them all the way here?!" Mana and Maria exclaimed in unison.

"What happened here?!" Lira came crashing into the boys while she dropped the goods she's carrying to check on them.

After a while, the three had their rest, and was able to calm themselves down. The master's, on the other hand, wanted to ask questions hastily since they're interested in the story.

Suddenly, a portal appeared, and it dropped Kimmi on the floor while she's unconscious, "I wanted to put them in my Coffin, but for now, I can only take one at a time. Sorry," 'That guy' apologized.

"What happened there, you two?" Riven asked as he lit up a cigarette.

"Don't smoke before us, old man!" The two brushes away the smoke by their hands.

"Hey, don't disrespect him," Athena warned the twins making them gulp back their saliva from the nervousness.

"It's a long story. . ." 'That guy' started the story.

The story was told from his Perspective, and Mana and Maria also told what's in their side. They didn't even tried to forget to say about them acting all by themselves and leaving the two tailing them. In the end, the three, who was left outside the cave, couldn't take it anymore and followed the three. They found their bodies lying there and dead bodies of mages, and with a special body torn apart with no signs of magic use or even a use of weapon, which shocked the masters.

"What's going on?" Koshiro asked as he stood up, supporting Hiruki who was feeling pain all over as he heals himself from the injury.

"You're awake? I have a little interview for you guys," Ireena said as her eyes moved from Koshiro towards the two, Gin and Goro, who were now standing unharmed.

"I can't remember much since Goro and I were thrown away," Gin gave his reason along with Goro's.

"Same here," Hiruki just shrugged.

"How about you, little boy?" Ireena raise an eyebrow on Koshiro.

"Wasn't Gin's spell still activated? So, he's conscious, right?" Koshiro didn't want to be interrogated, so he diverted it into Gin.

"That's how my magic works. Even if I'm unconscious, it works as long as I'm not dead," Gin didn't get even just a gist of Koshiro's intent.

"Seriously?" Koshiro looked at their unwavering look and couldn't help, but explain, "I don't intend to kill that guy, it was because of the fright of everyone getting hurt because I didn't have the courage to kill that guy before he could kill anyone. When they fell unconscious, I called out for Aeris' help. He torn the guy's body into pieces and made a Pact with me."

"Who's this Aeris? What pact?" Athena asked in a calm, but scary look.

"Sorry, but I can't disclose such information to you guys," Koshiro bowed down his head.

"What do you mean? We masters are also like authorizes, but we have a higher status than them. We have the rights to question you," Athena's face darkened more and more.

"Personal is personal. Why the hell should you care?" Koshiro looked annoyed, shocking everyone, "Who the hell are you to question me, Aeris?"

"C-Could it be a second personality?" Hela asked while he hides in Ireena's back, like always.

From the side, Hiruki spoke, "That body doesn't belong to you, don't get too full of yourself, f*cking lowlife. That body is Koshiro's leave!" Hiruki was angry, but he was smirking at him.

"Haha! So this is your Devilish side, A devil's pleasure when it gets to suffering? Schadenfreude, is it?" Aeris laughed and it slowly faded away leaving a mark of a frown at Koshiro's face, "Won't you point a sword at his neck?"

"Stop, seeing my best friend's face giving that expression really doesn't make sense! Koshiro, you let him take over you that easily?!" Gin was annoyed seeing the two like that, out of their character.

Slowly, Koshiro's dark expression dispersed into thin air, "Sorry about that. I'll tell him to be polite to you,next time," He apologized at Hiruki who had his mouth covered by his hands while he turns red.

He never dared to look at Koshiro in the eye, "Same here. I also said some inappropriate words to you. Hybrids cannot control their habit of being bad and good at the same time. Sorry."

"What you said is already a proof," Koshiro laughed faintly making Hiruki smile a little hidden while he stared at his face.

On the back, Hela was there again with her thoughts, "Did I misunderstood it? I wasn't Gin, it was Hiruki and Koshiro?! My god, sorry Hiruki! You got my support as you future master!"

Although Hela was timid, she hides a secret in her. She is secretly a fujoshi. She never dared to show it, but she's been looking for two guys to pair with each other and such thoughts would activate when she sees two guys that close.

Besides, if she takes Hiruki as her Apprentice, she'll get more closer to Riven, who she likes since he could ask them to train together for a reason to be with him, and see such closeness in Hiruki and Koshiro at the same time. Its killing two birds with one stone.

"After a technical error, we're now back, sorry everyone, for eating up your time. From here, we might take until night before finishing the battles. Well now, no time to waste, let's start!" Deshy's voice came out.

"Next battle, Adrian and Hoshi!" she added.

"Finally, it's my time," 'That guy spoke shocking everyone.

"What?! 'Thay guy' is named Hoshi?!" Gin looked shocked.

"You, too? I called him 'That guy', too!" Goro and Gin laughed at the coincidence.

"Not to be rude, but I'm also included," Hiruki raised his right hand, and Koshiro did the same while not saying a word.

"You! Then, at least, ask!" Hoshi was annoyed now.

"This is what otaku's call 'Guzen', was it?!" Riven joined the chat.

"Shut it!" Hoshi became more annoyed that he barged out of the room, and went to the battle making the girl laugh.

"By the way, Lira, where have you been all this time?" Goro asked giving a long pause of silence.

Before they could die from the silence, Hiruki spoke, "Ahhh, ahh! An anger flown by! Such nice humans to stay silent!" He covered his ear as if he was listening to boisterous music that could make his eardrums explode. Lira just replied with a smile.

"Now, start!" Deshy signaled to start.

Hoshi summoned a portal with his spacial magic that involves great control of Magical Powers to be able to perfect one space.

With his hands opened, he activated a skill, "Dark Coffin."

Suddenly, a coffin appeared and engulfed the guy inside. The guy tried to struggle, but it was futile since it was as hard as diamond. That skill is used in sealing a high-class demon, swords and other things or beings.

Deshy announced, "Winner, Hoshi!"

"Well that was fast," Goro was surprised and all from the turn of events.

A portal appeared and Hoshi came out, "I'm back."

"That was great," Gin praised him.

"Uh, guys. . ." Koshiro wasn't able to finish and fainted without a warning, but he was lucky that he was catched by Hiruki just right in time.

Koshiro woke up, but it was not in that place. It was a windy place. It was full of mountains of dry lands and even the ground is. Why's surprising him more is that it was like a desert, but it was not hot. The place was dark, but he skies lights it up like there's a sun there, revealing the whole terrain like it's full moon right now.

Standing in front was a big dragon with eight heads, but with four necks and one body. It was no Chinese Dragon if you look at the body. Its body is a normal dragon's, but it's head isn't. It has four necks and each of them is divided into two more necks making them have eight necks in total. It was like they were Yamata no Orochi.

The dragon's scales were black, but the edges was crimson red in color. It has it's wings on the back as wide as a super large wyvern's wings. It also has it's tain as long as a large and long serpent, but with no head, of course. As large and long, not looking like.

"I have to issue a contact with you," the dragon heads said in unison.

"What contact?" Koshiro asked.

"We are born to be with you, but we need a contact to live once we complete taking the shape of the heart. Because of another one, it became hard for us to do so. If we form it, you will receive eighty percent of the benefits, not to lie. You can summon us, or even calm out to the power each of our heads have," They explained one-by-one in just a sentence.

"I agree. I mean, if you die, it'll be a waste. Life is precious, and I get benefits, too. I agree. Let's just get this over with," Koshiro didn't gave it a time to explain further.

"Well then. . ." A light appeared and came enveloping the two beings.

Koshiro woke up and held on his head, "It's done?"

Koshiro was sure he and that being talked about something, but he wasn't able to remember it, no matter how hard he tried, so he doesn't have any choice, but to forget about it.

"Uhm, Koshiro,? " Hiruki pointed at Koshiro's undressed body at his upper right shoulder where his tattoo is.

The tattoo was now an eighth-headed dragon.
